Genesis 1:14-19

The Voice

God: ^14-15Lights, come out! Shine in the vast expanse of heavens’ sky dividing day from night to mark the seasons, days, and years. Lights, warm the earth with your light.

It happened just as God said. ¹⁶God fashioned the two great lights—the brighter to mark the course of day, the dimmer to mark the course of night—and the Divine needled night with the stars. ¹⁷God set them in heavens’ sky to cast warm light on the earth, ¹⁸to rule over the day and night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that His new creation was beautiful and good. ¹⁹Evening gave way to morning. That was day four.
